SMART Agriculture in Peru

Tuesday, August 13, 2019

This year, Agrícola Pampa Baja (APB) has begun to implement the SMART methodology on its farms in Peru.

Since 2005, APB is the only Peruvian export company that has a GLOBALG.A.P certification, which is a set of internationally recognized agricultural standards and dedicated to Good Agricultural Practices. For consumers and distributors, the GLOBALGAP certificate is the peace of mind that food reaches acceptable levels of safety and quality, and has been produced in a sustainable manner, respecting the health, safety and welfare of workers, the environment, and in consideration of Animal welfare issues.

APB has 1,100 hectares in Chiclayo, 1,288 hectares in Arequipa and the largest dairy farm in Peru that complements its agricultural activities. The farms are equipped with modern irrigation infrastructures that allow professional management.

In its commitment to the quality of its products and the environment, APB has begun to implement the SMART methodology on its farms with the objective of guaranteeing quality fruit with a rational use of water and used fertilizers.
